K.E.M. Knowledge Exchange Managment= sharing of ideals. I.C. Integrated Circuit= in short the basis of microchips. H.AL Heuristic Algorithmic, two ways of learning. So in short we all exchange information through technology and learn from each other. That is the literal meaning but really the idea came from the movie 2001: A Space Odessey. In that movie a computer onboard a space ship goes crazy, in part because of his intelligence mostly cus of his desire for human emotion. Basically K.E.M with I.C sorta encompases what Hal is in the movie. The H.A.L. part comes from his name but also from the fact that this is the way in which he learns.

No I play dead. Now roll over! Sit Ubu sit

It gives the crazies a place to call home.

Why you offering?: ) Um, yes that is somewhere on the list of why I do this.

So I started in a death metal band when I was 17. I played guitar then slowly progressed toward bass out of lack of steady bandmates. When that band fizzled out I did a collaboration on a hip hop album with one of my friends. While doing this I worked with a goth-metal band named M. Francis Fester. Eventually I left the band cause it was going nowhere. Then the collaboration ended when certain unforseen concequences befell my friend. That said I currently work alone. I find it easier than relying on dead beat band members afraid to take a chance.

This is a tough one I don't know where to start I do mostly drum n bass/jungle but my influences are more like... Ella Fitzgerald,Louie Armstrong,Ventures,Duane Eddie,Beach and Surf music,The Platters,Chevelles,all kinds of metal Corrosion of Confomity, Anthrax, Metallica of course, Biohazard, Tool.... Minor Threat, Beastie Boys, Rza, Method Man,Red Man Busta Ryhmes, like I said a hard one I could go on forever.

On the 1 and 2.

Ensoniq ASRX pro not so much anymore, old Korg X5D keyboard just for midi though, which I feed into my compy running Reason. Then I use other multitracking programs and wave editors.

Anything else? (Anything goes here!)
